A couple of days ago I received a package from good friend, Jerry Vezzuso, that contained a copy of his new self-published book, Looking Homeward. Jerry is a master printer who has worked with everyone from Gregory Crewdson to Philip Lorca-Di Corcia to Nan Goldin, but he is equally accomplished as a photographer. Jerry's first book of photography, New American Haircuts, was published in 1985 by Ballantine Books

Looking Homeward is "a compilation of photographs based on the dynamics of a New York working class family." The photographs in the book are heartfelt and beautiful and I recommend picking up a copy at Lulu.com.
